Hey people! I wanna thank everybody who reviewed my story. I though everybody who was reading this had given up since didn't I get that many reviews to the last chapter. I love you all and here's the next chapter.
--: 6 :--
When I walk out of my house the next morning I see Kai and Ray waiting for me.
"Hey." I say depressed.
"Are you okay?" Kai asks. "Ray told me what your parents are doing."
"It's only my mother that wants me out of the house. My dad wants me to stay." I say. "And no, I'm not really okay. I have to go back to that orphanage and I hate it. I hate that I have to be there all day long being bored." I say.
"You can always hang out at me or Kai's." Ray says.
"Thanks. I'm gonna hold you to that a lot of times. Both of you." I say.
"Just don't wreck anything like Tyson does and you can come whenever you want." Kai says.
"I'm not like Tyson." I say, smiling slightly.
We walk to school and when we get there Tyson starts asking me questions about why I look so depressed. After 10 minutes of wining I brake down and tell him.
"So you're leaving the team" He says.
I can see the hope in his eyes. I stand up and slap him in the face leaving a print of my hand on his cheek. How could he say such a thing! Ray grabs me from behind so I don't start pounding Tyson.
"Tyson!"
Kai hisses to him.
Tyson's just looking at me in shock and pain.
He then realizes what he said and looks down.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that." He apologizes.
"If you ever say something like that to me again I swear your gonna need more than Ray to stop me from hurting you." I hiss.
Tyson nods and walks away with Max. Ray lets go of me and sits down again.
"It's gonna be okay Aviva." He says.
I shake my head.
"I'm going to that freaking orphanage after school and they'll never let me blade in a tournament.
"Why don't we go with you after school to help you persuade them? We know everything that happens around the tournaments." Kai suggests.
I nod even though I think this will never work.
Ray's POV: (A/N: Whoa! I'm using someone else's POV! Go me!)
I can see Aviva doesn't have a lot of faith in the people at the orphanage. The day goes by peaceful and Tyson and Max stay away from Aviva. I can see Aviva getting more depressed by the minute. When the school ends we walk to the orphanage in silence. She walks into the building and I can see she's close to crying again.
"Welcome back Aviva." A woman says to Aviva.
She's looking at Aviva as if she's dirt and worth nothing. Aviva just stares at the ground saying nothing. Then Kai clears his throat. The woman looks at him.
"Yes?" She asks bored.
"We're Aviva's friends and we'd like to discuss something with you in private." He says.
"Fine. This way please." She says and leads the way to her office.
"What do you want to discuss with me?" She asks annoyed.
"My name is Kai Hiwatari and I'm the team captain of the Blade breakers. Aviva has recently joined our team and I was hoping it's possible she can come with us to the tournament in about 2 weeks." Kai says politely.
Sometimes I just love it that Kai had an education in how to behave in cases like these. The woman looks at him frowning.
"And why would I do that. She needs to go to school." She says.
"We get private lessons at the place the tournament is held." I say sounding as polite as I can be right now. She looks at me in the same way she looked at Aviva.
"And you are?" She asks.
"My name is Ray Kon miss. I'm one of the team members of the Blade breakers." I say.
"And what about money. I'm not paying for the plane and everything." She continues.
"All expenses are paid for by the BBA." Kai says.
She looks at Aviva who is still staring at the ground. She hasn't said a word since we left school.
"Why are you so quiet Aviva? If I remember correctly your stepmother didn't want you anymore because you were insolent and didn't listen to her." The woman says.
"I really want to go with them to the tournament so I think I should stay quiet if I want to have the slightest chance." Aviva says not looking up.
"You're probably right about that. Tell me, why do you want to go with them?" The woman asks.
"Because I love blading and they are my friends." Aviva says.
She finally looks up and looks pleadingly into the woman's eyes.
"Please miss Konaway. I beg you."
Miss Konaway looks at Aviva surprised. She's probably not used to seeing Aviva like this. She looks at me and Kai again and lets out a sigh.
"If you can meet all my demands than I will grand you permission to take Aviva with you. I will give you a list with all my demands on them tomorrow so you'll have to come get it." Miss Konaway says.
Aviva is staring at her in disbelieve. Then her face clears up and she smiles. She has a very beautiful smile that could melt the coldest of harts The look in her eyes softens and shows warmth which is really surprising because her usual look could kill you. I hope she smiles more often. It makes her look even more beautiful than she already was.
"Thank you for your time. I will be here tomorrow to pick up the list." Kai shakes Miss Konaway's hand we walk out of her office together.
"How the hell did you do that?" Aviva jumps Kai and almost strangles him in her hug.
I feel a pang of jealousy. I wish she would do that to me… even though she is sorta choking Kai now.
"Please. Let. Go." Kai manages to say and Aviva lets go of him.
"Sorry. I'm just really happy right now." She apologizes. She then turns to me and hugs me as well though not as hard as Kai.
"It's nothing. What are friends for?" I say.
"Aviva!" Miss Konaway walks out of her office. "I'll show you where your room is. Your friends can stay until dinner but have to leave then."
"Yes Miss Konaway." Aviva says politely.
"I have to go." Kai says. "If I don't get home before 4 my grandfather will kill me. I already got into trouble yesterday."
"Then you shouldn't have run away from Boris." Aviva says smirking.
"I know but I can't stand him. He's hiding something from me and I'm gonna find out what today. See you tomorrow." He says before running off.
Miss Konaway shows us to Aviva's new room and then leaves.
"She gave me the same room as last time." Aviva mutters.
"Then you'll at least know how to find it. How long did you live here last time?" I ask.
"About 2 years. My parents dumped me here when I was 6. I don't remember a thing about them and Miss Konaway won't tell me anything about them. When I was 8 my now ex-parents picked me up from this place and we moved a year later. I don't remember much about this place except that I hated it and Miss Konaway was always really mean to me." Aviva sighs. "I can't believe she said yes."
She sits down on the bed and I sit down next to her. We talk about our pasts until Miss Konaway calls Aviva for dinner and I have to leave.
Aviva's POV:
I say goodbye to Ray and walk to the dinner table. None of the people from the last time I was here are here now except for one boy. He's the same age as I am and keeps staring at me smirking. He does that through the entire dinner and when we can finally leave I've had it and I walk up to him.
"Why are staring at me all the time?" I ask irritated.
"Because I want to. I'm Alan." He says.
"And I'm getting really irritated so stop staring at me all the time." I say and turn around. I can feel him still staring at me so I go to room. At least he can't come in here. I start doing my homework and by the time I'm finished, it's already half past ten and I decide to go to bed. I'm barely in bed when someone knocks on the door. I let out a sigh and open it. When I see who's at the door I start glaring. It's Alan.
"Hey. Want some company?" He asks with a playful wink.
"Not even if you were the last man on earth." I say and I want to close the door but he puts his foot on the threshold and pushes the door open again.
"Come on Aviva. Don't you like me?"
"I think I even like Tyson more than you so get out of my room or I'll call Miss Konaway." I hiss.
I can see a little shock in his eyes and he reluctantly leaves. I close the door and get back into bed. What does he want from me anyway? I close my eyes and stop thinking about Alan. He's not worth it. I fall asleep and dream about the upcoming tournament and… Ray?
Well that's it for now. Oh and I wanna ask Rays girlx about her OC's Rikku and Rika. You forgot to put down what they wear. Would you please put down what they wear in a review? Thanx! Well I'm done rambling now so REVIEW!
